Trump Administration Seeks Supreme Court Intervention For National Guard Deployment In Chicago
The Trump administration has filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court seeking authorization to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago. This comes after multiple legal setbacks in federal courts that have restricted the administration’s law enforcement operations in several states.
Emergency Supreme Court Request Filed
The Trump administration has turned to the Supreme Court in an effort to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, according to reports. Solicitor General D. John Sauer filed an emergency request Friday stating that federal agents in Chicago have faced dangerous situations, including what he described as “pre-planned ambush” incidents where agents were allegedly threatened and assaulted. The administration’s legal maneuver represents an escalation in its ongoing efforts to bolster federal law enforcement presence in multiple cities.
